Out of nearly 3,000 applicants, 184 scholars, artists, and scientists were named as 2021 Guggenheim Fellows. Eight of those recognized come from the Citizens & Scholars network. The fellowships are awarded to “exceptional individuals in pursuit of scholarship in any field of knowledge and creation in any art form, under the freest possible conditions.”

The C&S Fellows among this year’s class represent a range of fields and experiences. These Fellows were supported through “second generation” programs—those that came after the original Woodrow Wilson Fellowships from 1945 to 1972. They include four Andrew W. Mellon Fellows in Humanistic Studies (MN), two Newcombe Fellows (CN), and a Career Enhancement Fellow (CEF):

• Laurence Ralph MN ’04, Professor of Anthropology, Princeton University

Citizens & Scholars is pleased to have supported these scholars at critical junctures of their careers and looks forward to their continued and exceptional contributions.
